Soldiers Assault: Starting from the 7th Steel Company

Chapter 49 Why is it me again?

"Seventh Brother, give me a cigarette!" Instructor Hong Xingguo asked Gao Cheng for cigarettes without any scruples, and at the gate of the Seventh Steel Company.

Not long ago, the two of them, who were supposed to lead the company in training, suddenly received a notice that the regimental chief of staff was coming.

So they had to hand over the training task to the platoon leader on duty, and the two waited at the company headquarters.

The chief of staff and his entourage arrived on time and quickly. After some greetings, they were given a freshly prepared document.

Once the high city is opened,

What caught my eye was:
Organizational Reform Plan for the 7th Armored Reconnaissance Company of the 702nd Regiment of a Certain Division: Initial Personnel Allocation List

At the front are the platoon-level officers of the 7th Company. Hong Xingguo, the instructor of the 7th Armored Reconnaissance Company, is appointed as the instructor of the 9th Company of the 702nd Regiment.
Below was a pile of names of soldiers who had been demobilized early. He saw a familiar name: the Third Squad of Bai Tiejun, whose service was about to end and who was demobilized early.

After seeing off the regiment chief of staff as a routine matter, Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo could no longer hold back.

Gao Cheng handed over a whole box of cigarettes with a blank expression.
Hong Xingguo tremblingly pulled out a stick from inside.
But his hands were shaking like sieves and he couldn't light a cigarette. Finally, Gao Cheng helped him and he finally lit the cigarette.
However, Hong Xingguo, who was a heavy smoker, was choked by the smoke and kept coughing.

Gao Cheng helped massage his back while complaining, "Old Hong, stop smoking!"

Hong Xingguo paused for a moment before saying slowly, "It's better to choke a little. Even if you choke to death, that's it. Otherwise, how can I carry out the next thing?"

Then he glanced at Gao Cheng with a bitter face and said, "Forget it, I have to go anyway. After all, I'm the instructor of the Seventh Company."

Gao Cheng felt a little guilty, "Old Hong, I'm sorry. During these years in the Seventh Company, I have always suppressed you and made you feel insignificant."

"Alright, just because you, Old Seven, can say sorry, it's worth it for me, Old Hong!"

After saying that, he changed the subject.
"We need to hold a party, and the standards should be high. We need to use the best food and wine! I'll take care of it. More than 30 people are leaving at once. Damn, isn't this going to throw our Seventh Company into chaos?"

"Or, Lao Hong, let me do it! This job is too difficult!" Gao Cheng's brows were almost furrowed.

"You do it? Are you capable of this? I'm your instructor, and I'm supposed to clean up your mess. Okay, you still have to focus on training. I estimate that the rest of you will be assigned a place soon, and then it will all depend on your performance!"

After Hong Xingguo finished speaking, he walked forward on his own.
When he left, he threw the cigarette butt away, and it flew right into the trash can.

Chen Jiang was mentally prepared for what was to happen next. The squad leader Shi Jin, whom he cared about the most, did not leave, and Xu Sanduo did not become the acting squad leader, but he became the deputy squad leader.

Now, as long as Shi Jin is not among the next batch of demobilized soldiers, he will most likely be assigned to another class, and then he will definitely be able to participate in Old A's selection.

After the training that day, everyone was about to go back to the cafeteria for lunch, but was told to go to the meeting room on the second floor of the cafeteria.

Everyone was a little confused. Aren't we supposed to have a meal? What kind of meeting was this?
But the nature of soldiers is to obey, so everyone lined up in an orderly manner and headed to the second floor.

But once we went upstairs, the atmosphere became a little off.

Why is there music on the second floor?

This is a rare thing.

But when the veterans pushed open the door, what caught their eyes was a bright red banner: Farewell comrades, remember comrades, and bless comrades.

Below are two roll-up posters with the names of comrades who are about to be demobilized.

The tape recorder was also playing the song "Sending Off Comrades", which everyone disliked the most.

Today's conference room had been transformed into a wedding banquet hall. The food was plentiful, with all sorts of fruits and vegetables available, but it didn't whet anyone's appetite at all. Gao Cheng and Hong Xingguo wore smiles, though they were obviously forced, yet they both clapped their hands in unison.

The two of them took the lead in applauding, and the brothers in the kitchen team followed suit and applauded enthusiastically.

The veterans were all a little nervous. Regardless of their military appearance and discipline, they squeezed over to take a look, and saw a world of difference.

"Why me again? I don't want to leave!"

Bai Tiejun has good eyesight,

In fact, you don’t need very good eyesight, because his is the first name to be demobilized.

At this moment, he was crying like a tearful man. He could no longer stand and squatted down, holding his head and crying.

Shi Jin didn't see his name, so he let out a long sigh and then went to comfort several comrades in the class who were about to leave.

On one side of the conference room were the soldiers who were comforting others and were determined to stay, and on the other side were the veterans who were about to enter the countdown to leaving the barracks.

But the atmosphere doesn't seem festive at all.

"Hey, change the music! This one isn't good. We're not having a memorial service! Change it to something more festive. Let's play 'Good Days'!"

Gao Cheng felt that they couldn't go on like this, otherwise the whole group would burst into tears. How could that be?

When the festive music started playing, Gao Cheng walked onto the stage, took the microphone and shouted:

"I've already consulted with the group today. You can have fun however you want, and have as much fun as you want! But I have one request: you are not allowed to leave this meeting room."

Before Gao Cheng could finish his words, a soldier who was crying loudly snatched the microphone away.

He didn't care about whether he was the company commander or not, he just held the microphone and cried:

"I really don't want to leave. I really don't want to leave the 7th Steel Company!"

After he shouted like that, the situation got even more out of control, and many veterans began to hug their comrades and cry bitterly.

Of course, there were also people who rushed onto the stage, grabbed the microphone and said some things that they usually wanted to say but didn't dare to say, such as apologies, some little secrets, etc. But now that it has come to this, what can't be forgiven?

Most of the soldiers were not good at expressing themselves, so they could only turn their grief and anger into drinking and drank desperately.

Bai Tiejun walked over to say goodbye to the company commander and instructor, gave them a big hug, and then said goodbye to his brothers in the class.

"Old Bai, we actually don't want you to leave." Xu Sanduo was the first person to open up to Bai Tiejun today.

"Don't blame the squad leader. He actually just found out this morning, a little earlier than you, but he didn't know how to tell you." Shi Jin had been in a bad mood all day and looked a little listless. It turned out that this was the reason.

"Squad leader, stop talking. I, Old Bai, understand. I am the worst one in Class 3. If I don't leave, who will?" Bai Tiejun took a bottle of beer depressedly and started drinking by himself.

Everyone felt even more sad when they saw him like this.

Although Bai Tiejun is the youngest in the third squad, he has always occupied the throne of "the ruthless pit master" except before Xu Sanduo rose to prominence.

But he is also a rare happy guy in Class 3. Who would be willing to let him go?
But there is no way, the troops are like this,

The camp remains, but the soldiers are transient!
